Intro:
[G]
Verse 1:
[G]I kno-o-o-o-ow that you [Cadd9] like me
And it's kinda [Em]frightenin'
Standing here [D]waitin', waitin'
And [G]I-I-I-I-I became [Cadd9]hypnotized
By freckles and [Em]bright eyes
[D]Tongue tied
Pre-chorus:
But [G]no-o-ow
[Cadd9]You're so far away and I'm [Em] down
[D]Feelin' like a face in the [G]crowd [Cadd9]
I'm reachin' for [Em]you, [D]terrif-i-i-ied
Chorus:
'Cause [G]you could be the one that I [Cadd9]love, oh-oh, oh, oh
I [Em]could be the one that you [D]dream o-o-o-of
[G]Message in a bottle is [Cadd9]all I can do
[Em]Standin' here, hopin' it [D]gets to you
[G]You could be the one that I [Cadd9]keep, and I, I, I
[Em]Could be the reason you can't [D]sleep at ni-i-ight
[G]Message in a bottle is [Cadd9]all I can do
[Em]Standin' here, hopin' it [D]gets to you
[G] [C] [Em] [D]
[G] [C] [Em] [C]
Verse 2:
[G]I used to [C]switch out these [Em]Kens, I'd just [D]ghost
[G]Rip the [C]band-aid off and skip [Em]town like an [D]asshole outlaw
[G]Freedom [C]felt like summer then, [Em]on the [D]coast
[G]Now the [C]sun burns my [Em]heart, and the [D]sand hurts my feelings
[G]And I [C]never don't cry, [Em]at the [D]bar
[G]Yeah, my [C]sadness is con[Em]tagious (my sadness is cont[D]tagious)
[G]I slur your [C]name 'til someone [Em]puts me in a [D]car
[G]I stopped re[C]cieving invi[Em]tations [D]
Chorus:
[G]Oh, my, love is a lie
[C]Shit my friends say to get me by
[Em]It hits different
[D]It hits different this time
[G]Catastrophic blues
[C]Movin' on was always easy for [Em]me to do
It hits different
[D]It hits different 'cause...
[G]You could be the one that I [Cadd9]keep, and I, I, I
[Em]Could be the reason you can't [D]sleep at ni-i-ight
[G]Message in a bottle is [Cadd9]all I can do
[Em]Standin' here, hopin' it [D]gets to you
Bridge:
[G]I find the artifacts, cried [C]over a hat
Cursed the space that I needed
[Em]I trace the evidence, make it [D]make some sense
Why the wound is still bleedin'
[G]You were the one that I loved
Don't [C]need another metaphor, it's simple enough
A [Em]wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
[D]This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
[G]Dreams of your [C]hair and your stare and sense of [Em]belief
In the good [D]in the world, you once believed in [G]me
And I [C]felt you and I held you for a [Em]while
Bet I could still melt your world
[D]Argumentative, antithetical dream girl
[G] [Cadd9] [Em] [D]
[G] [Cadd9] [Em] [D]
[Cadd9]How is it in [D]London? (London)
[Cadd9]Where are you while I'm [D] wonderin' (wonderin')
[Cadd9]If I'll ever see you again? [G]Yeah [Cadd9] [Em] [D]
You could be the one that I [G]love, [Cadd9]mm-mm
And now I'm [Em]standin' here, hopin' it [D]gets to you
Chorus:
[G]Oh, my, love is a lie
[C]Shit my friends say to get me by
[Em]It hits different
[D]It hits different this ti-i-i-ime
And [G]you could be the one that I [Cadd9]keep, and I, I, I
[Em]Could be the reason you can't [D]sleep at ni-i-ight
[G]Message in a bottle is [Cadd9]all I can do
[Em]Standin' here, hopin' it [D]gets to you
[G]Catastrophic blues
[C]Movin' on was always easy for [Em]me to do
It hits different
[D]It hits different 'cause I'm [Em]standin' here
Hopin' it [D]gets to you [G]
